People Serving People has been chosen as a finalist for the All-Star Fans Choose grant, supported by Major League Baseball, the Minnesota Twins, the Twins Community Fund, and the Pohlad Family Foundation. The winning non-profit will be announced during MLB All-Star Week in July, and receive a $500,000 grant to be used on a capital project.
94 non-profit groups from Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin applied to be considered for this first-of-its-kind grant. A panel of judges, consisting of representatives from MLB and the Twins determined the final seven non-profit projects based on the following criteria: impact on community, scope, timeline, environmental improvement, sustainable design, and quality of application.
People Serving People's proposal is to use the grant to renovate and upgrade thier kitchen, which they use to serve over 250,000 meals a year to children and their parents experiencing homeless.
